What you will learn

You will learn about the life of Viktor Frankl and his meaning-centered philosophy which he coined, Logotherapy.

Viktor Frankl Institute of America founders walk you through the history of Logotherapy and present exercises to help you find out what matters most to you.

The course contains video footage of Frankl speaking about topics such as self-transcendence, unconditional meaning, and the existential vacuum.

This course relates Frankl's philosophy to modern times. Frankl's Logotherapy helps people live a more purposeful life.

Description

Do you wonder what your life's purpose is? Have you discovered your meaning?

In this 4-part course, you will learn about the life and work of Viktor Frankl, who was the founder of the psychology of meaning. His grandson, Alexander Vesely, a certified Logotherapist, provides commentary and explanations related to each week's topic. Additionally, there are audio and video clips from Frankl himself, along with other supporting videos and materials.

The course is meant to provide an overview of the meaning-centered theory, Logotherapy, which translates to "healing through meaning" in Greek. It is as much a life philosophy as it is psychotherapy. Anyone interested in learning more about Viktor Frankl, Logotherapy, and meaning is invited to take the course.

The course is organized by weeks, but you can take it at your own pace.

· Week 1: Who was Viktor Frankl?

· Week 2: What is Meaning?

· Week 3: What is Logotherapy

· Week 4: Meaning Under All Circumstances

You will have access to never-before-seen footage from the family archives and analysis by Viktor Frankl's grandson, Alex Vesely. His interviews with VFIA co-founder, Pam Roy, reveal much about Viktor Frankl's personal life and his theory of Logotherapy.

You will gain a deeper understanding of Frankl's philosophy and suggestions for applying the principles to your own life.

Please note that this is an informational course only, not a certification.

“Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.”

I absolutely love this, because it is 100% aligned with the course I just developed on The Career Exploration Blueprint, which takes you through a set of questions to actually achieve a full understanding of the meaning your career will have on your life, but also the UNIQUE person you are through your thinking processes. I LOVE THIS!

An amazing course. Viktor Frankl's thinking has always saved me from moments in my life where, let's say, I had thought about "ending the journey which is life". However, his words have always helped throught difficult times. And this course has yet again helped me understand more, and belive more in a better tomorrow!

It's a great course, however it is more a course on Viktor Frankl than it is one on Logotherapy. We learn a lot about the man and – of course, about the general ideas behind (and the concept of) Logotherapy – but it would have been nice to learn a little more about the practical methods of logotherapy, in how far they differ from tools and techniques used in other schools of psychotherapy. The videos towards the end have people talk about how they work with logotherapy in different contexts yet they still don't leave me any wiser concerning the "hows", how the concept of "sense/meaning and purpose" is being tranferred and applied in therapy or working with clients. I am well aware this is an information course only, not a teaching or educational course, but as somebody trying to make a decision as to whether or not enroll for a full logotherapy certification course, I am trying to gather a wider knowledge of methods used and practical everyday differences to other psychotherapy methods. I was hoping this course may shed a little light on that, but basically it provided all the same information available online from different sources already, just a little more in-depth when it comes to the person of Viktor Frankl. However, for everyone with a general interest and less specific hopes than I brought, this is an awesome and detailed information course that I would highly recommend.

Beautiful, the thoughts, the theory everything. I do agree to most of the things which has been conveyed through the course. Having said this, there's also a few things in which I would like to think differently. But overall it is definitely worth it, I wish I could listen to Dr. Frankl more.

It is very well presented and approaches the subject in a meaningful way. How appropriate. It is very interesting to meet the man, behind the theory through his grandson. We can see how he came to founding such an amazing new therapy that has changed the direction of psychotherapy, so dramatically.

Dr. Frankl leaves us with much food for thought through his life experiences that he had overcome. I am grateful and much more enlightened through his work.

That's a great course from both theoretical view and also practical view. I found my personal meaning along the way of doing this course. I really admire Viktor Frankl and his grand-son Alexander Vesely. I also admire the work of The Viktor E. Frankl Institute of America and other organisations, promoting logotherapy and the work of Viktor Frankl. My education is in psychology field and I wish to use the principles of logotherapy with my future clients (contemplating about opening my counsellor's service to others). Thank you, Viktor Frankl, Alexander Vesely, Pam Roy and others who created this course!!!

It's incredible to gain insights about the life of Victor Frankl from someone who was such a close relative, to be able to see the room where Victor Frankl worked, and to see rare photographs about his personal life and pursuits. Absolutely loving this course.

Absolutely amazing, putting my thoughts into words and now I understand a little bit more on why I think and do the way "I do"

Find it useful in my life as I am nearing retirement and hope to avoid the existential vacuum I already see forming! I like the present and future orientation of Logo therapy .

.This course was amazing and effective in every way, It spurred me on to read two of Victor ‘s books, Mans Search for Meaning and The Doctor and The Soul. This course has been very inspiring as I return to my work in education. I have now been inspired to become a member of the Logotherapy Institute and begin their courses to work with logotherapy. Thank you to Alexander Vesely for his creation of the work.

Es un curso muy completo para comprender los principios básicos de la Logoterapia. Solo estaría muy bien que tuviera subtítulos en español

It's amazing - I've lived these concepts for 50 years - and never knew what I was doing differently from many others. My mother's lingering illness and death devastated me; but the way she died, with such dignity and grace, made me determined to live and die as she did. Now I know what she did - that she found meaning in her shortened life and was the best example of meaning that I could ever have seen. Phenomenal course.

Very good match! As a therapist who believes that the clinician and client are both trying to figure out life on the journey, this is helping me as well as clients.
